ADP, or Automatic Data Processing, is a global provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions and services, helping businesses manage payroll, HR, benefits, and workforce data.

This topic describes how to authenticate to ADP and configure any necessary connection properties in the ADP connection connector.

Prerequisites #

Before You Connect

Before you can establish a connection, you must contact ADP and ask that they provide you with an OAuth app and its associated credentials.

These credentials can only be obtained from ADP and can’t be retrieved directly.

Connection Configuration #

Each connection property available in the ADP connector is explained below.

Connection Name #

The name of the connection to be created should be provided. This is the name that will display on the list of available connections.

Use UAT #

Whether the connection should be made to an ADP UAT account.

Client ID #

The client Id assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Client Secret #

The client secret assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Access Token #

The access token for connecting using OAuth.

Refresh Token #

The OAuth refresh token for the corresponding OAuth access token.

Enable SSL #

Option for creating the connection with SSL enabled.

Upload Keystore File #

Option to upload keystore file.

Include custom fields #

A boolean indicating if you would like to include custom fields in the column listing.

Setting this to true will cause custom fields to be included in the column listing, but may cause poor performance when listing metadata.

Add Configuration: Additional properties can be added using this option as key-value pairs.

After entering all the details, click on the TEST button.

If the connection service identification and authentication details are provided correctly, a success message stating “connection available” is generated.

Click on the CREATE button to save the changes.

If the details are incorrect or the server is down, you will get a message “Connection unavailable”.
